When I Sit, Thoughts Arise

I sit here with voices ringing in my ears. My heart is beating so loud that everyone hears. In my head, all the thoughts swirl. Here I am, all alone, just a girl. I sit in this cave of mine thinking about us. And I think to myself, “There is no need for all this fuss.” I love you, and you love me. My love for you is real, can’t you see? I sit with friends, and yet I feel alone. My mind slowly wanders into the unknown. The feelings I feel for you are too great to hold in. I feel like sometimes it’s a secret sin. I sit alone in my room at night. Whenever I think of you, you appear in my sight. My heart calls out to yours in hopes to connect. I feel like this connection will turn out to be unexpected. I sit by myself, one with my thoughts. Love is a gamble, so play carefully with the slots. The voices rush in and out, saying truths and lies. And all the memories play like a reprise.
